I’ve been looking for ‘that book’ - you know the one - that’ll teach you how to instantly attain a Jedi-like-Buddhahood, the one that effortlessly reminds you of what you already know deep down. And I’ve looked in the Mind/Body/Spirit section of the bookshop - also the Popular Science section - for cool Urban-Warrior-style book about Quantum Physics.
And I’ve even tried searches on the internet – for phrases like ‘Buddha-in-the-hood’ or ‘Jedi-Buddhahood’- but nothing apart from a Star Wars role-playing book for $179!! which (by-the-way) I saw about three years ago in another bookshop for about £40! - (so much for my prude investment intuition) anyways - I don’t want to play-act being a Jedi - or read a load of Buddhist or Tao airy fairy stuff half mixed with loads of Indian ‘Words’ and lingo just to feel ‘spiritual’.
I just want a plain talking - selfless - down-to-earth guide, I want to actually Be - to feel and experience that inner-peace altered state of Higher Consciousness
And then it came to me – Flash! – Smack! - Boom!!!! - like an old ‘friend’ - who I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to bump into again - and it asked me:
‘Why are you looking outside of yourself - for the answers and solutions that lye within yourself?
Write your own bloody book!’ it said –
‘Discover the inner-Buddha in you -
uncover the Jedi Knight - hiding in your dressing gown.
Behold the Uber Mench - Behold the Urban Guru!’
